$3,500 induction question???

Guys let say you have a 383 in need of the best fuel system $3500 can buy, assuming the bottom end can already withstand whatever you will throw at it; will you???

1)Holley to the rescue
a) 900cfm 4bbl tbi unit with 144 powercharger-supercharger
OR
b)same 4bbl tbi with adj. 50 to 300hp Nitrous Express system
OR
2)Stealth Ram plus a Nitrous system
OR
3)Fill in the blanks __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

what does a wimple charger run?

i personaly like the 900cfm with 144 charger idea, that is my back up route, if i descide not to take the turbo dive.

*edit* lol, we replied at the same time and both mentioned the wimple the screw style superchargers really are far and away better than a standard roots style. but IIRC the wimple was close to $3500 on its own.

They all seam like a pretty sweet setup, but if I had that kinda cash it would go to choice # 2.

I would use a TPIS miniram set-up with spray. The stealth ram is also a nice set-up but I think the miniram looks a lot better.

I figured whipple would be easier on the motor, take less twakeage once it was setup, and be always their instead of having to fill a bottle.

My father in law has a charger on his rig, and he's no check this tune that type of guy.. turn key and go is all he does.

Don;' know if that makes a difference, but it definetaly daily driverable with a lot of punch
